The Relationship
Learning Everest partnered with the client when it was approached with a project for designing and developing a battery of courses for its internal employees. They were looking for an experienced eLearning partner who could promise a quick turnover within their budget. Learning Everest, with its mission to deliver quality with speed at the lowest price possible, ended up being the ideal choice.
The Client’s Requirement
The client’s requirement was designing and developing a multi-module battery of eLearning courses on the topic of Business Excellence for their employees. The subject matter pertained to an internal SQDCP performance management dashboard implemented as a business excellence intervention to facilitate better inter-department integration and coordination.
They wanted the courses to be engaging in a way that allowed learners to grasp the workings of the dashboard effectively.
The Solution
Learning Everest’s proposed solution was a battery of level 2 eLearning courses led by a fictional facilitator. This facilitator was represented using a human avatar from the Articulate Storyline 360 library along with a human voiceover.
Along with the facilitator and voiceover, the course features simple loading animations for the course content. Features like icons were used to create visual hierarchy and appeal.
Since the client wanted its learners to actively participate in the learning process instead of passively consuming the course, Learning Everest played around with the navigation buttons. The course featured a lot of images from the dashboard they were training learners to use. This image-heavy content provided an opportunity to forego fixed navigation buttons. Instead, the next and previous buttons were placed in different locations on each screen, depending on the orientation of the dashboard images. This made it more likely that the learners would observe the content being offered, instead of falling into a passive “click-next” flow.
To reinforce the learnings, knowledge checks were strategically placed throughout each course.
Overall, the client was happy and satisfied with the solution Learning Everest offered.
